More space for green.
Reducing globally ever increasing energy consumption is one of the biggest
challenges mankind is faced with. Schindler analysis continuously the Life Cycle
phases of its products and identifies the potential for reducing the environmental
impact. By far the largest potential for the reduction of this impact lies thus in the
utilization phase, followed by raw material acquisition and disposal.

Thinking ecological.
Acting sustainable.
Development
Product development is the area with by far the
greatest scope for ecological leverage, since 80% of
the environmental impact of an elevator throughout
its lifecycle is determined during the development
phase. Therefore the Schindler 7000 high-rise elevator
is continuously analyzed and improved regarding
energy efficiency and applied materials.
However, during the lifecycle of an elevator, it is
the utilization phase that has the most potential for
reducing the environmental impact (refer to the chart
below). How power consumption can be optimized
during the utilization phase is described on the
following pages.
Environmental fact sheet
A detailed fact sheet on the environmental
performance of a representative Schindler 7000
installation is available. It contains quantitative data
on materials used; electricity consumed during the
utilization phase, environmental impact assessment
for various impact categories, such as global
warming and ozone depletion potential, and waste
disposal guidelines.
Recycling and disposal
Schindler 7000 uses carefully selected materials in
the design of its products. The high-rise components
consist of a high proportion of metals, which are
recyclable. Over 85% of the total weight is recyclable
material, made out of different alloys of steel, cast
iron, and copper.

Less energy consumption.
In every way.
The utilization phase clearly causes the highest
environmental impact due to the energy
consumption during operation and standby of
the elevator. Energy consumption is therefore a key
factor to observe. Besides the power consumption
of the drive, the car light, can contribute significantly
to the overall power consumption during the
utilization phase.
Green solutions within Schindler 7000
Today, all Schindler high-rise components are
backwards compatible. All new components can
be replaced or newly installed into existing
installations, which increases the lifetime of the
elevator system.
Schindler 7000 offers as a standard solution the
energy saving standby power operating mode.
The compact system design reduces shaft and
machine room size, which provides energy
efficiency and more rentable space. The clever
machine design of Schindler 7000 allows all parts
to be replaced for repair and modernization, which
affords you material savings, energy saving and
increases the life of the machine. With our compact
high-reliability components, we cut maintenance
and energy costs to a minimum.

Sustainability today
Sustainable urban development is a major challenge
for planners and architects in the 21st century.
Schindler supports visions and plans for sustainable
buildings with energy-efficient and ecologically
sound mobility solutions. The Schindler 7000 highrise elevators ensure mobility in commercial and res
idential buildings.
Efficient operation
Schindler high-rise elevators are built to be highly
efficient in every respect: be it in performance, space
or energy usage. From the first steps of development,
to smart material use in production, through to optimizing energy consumption during utilization,
Schindler is securing ecologically sound solutions
today and for the future.
The energy required for daily operation of a building
has the biggest impact on the environment – the
same applies to elevators. The amount of energy an
elevator consumes while in service is crucial
to determining its environmental impact; energy
efficiency is therefore an important feature of
Schindler 7000 elevators.

Energy efficiency classification
Seven consumption classes provide a transparent and
factual overview when rating elevators according to
their energy performance. They range from “A” to
“G” with “A” being the best-in-class system. The rating combines measurements of both stand-by and
travel energy. The elevator’s frequency of use, travel
height and speed are also considered as they have a
strong influence on the rating.
The measurements and classification are a guideline
for Schindler to further contribute to sustainable
building development.
Measurements run by TÜV prove that the Schindler
7000 can provide the best energy efficiency classification “A”.

overall energy consumption.
Awarded as Gold in LEED certification, the
tallest building in Beijing, China World Trade
Center III (CWTCIII) is now the symbol for
green buildings.
The 46-floor office building utilizes plenty of advanced interior technologies, such as stable doublechannel power supply and smart communication
system. The ice storage technology saves energy,
cooling is from the ice stored in duration of low
power use. The building outer walls realize warm
reservation and hotness separation.
The Schindler 7000 elevators also present advanced
green technologies, e.g. PF1 which returns energy
generated by the movement of the elevators back
into the building’s power grid. Meanwhile, 10m/s
running speed guarantees efficient transportation; it
also makes Schindler 7000 the fastest elevator in
Beijing.
Schindler high-rise products and services can also
contribute to the achievement of various LEED credits.
Our high-rise experts will advise you professionally on

Faster, higher, greener.
The largest refurbishment of a building undertaken in Europe created one of the most
eco-friendly high-rise buildings in the world
– the New Deutsche Bank Towers in Frankfurt.
The prominent 155-meter twin towers were transformed into a visible symbol that stands for the
efficient use of resources and, simultaneously,
a high-quality working environment. Schindler
modernized 20 high-rise elevators as well as a large
service elevator, and supplied 12 new elevators and
a platform for disabled passengers.
The Schindler 7000 elevator system features a series
of advanced energy-saving technologies, e.g. a
power-recuperation facility which returns energy
generated by the movement of the elevators back
into the building‘s power grid. Furthermore, the
advanced Transit Management System with
user-access technology significantly increases the
transport capacity of the existing elevators by
optimizing journeys, minimizing travel times and
taking account of passengers with special needs.
The overall annual power consumption of the
elevators has been reduced by more than 50% or
160 MWh p.a., which corresponds to the power
use of approx. 40 households.
The New Deutsche Bank Towers are the world‘s first
renovated high-rise building to be awarded the
highest-possible certifications of LEED Platinum and
DGNB Gold for resource and energy efficiency.

Schindler 7000
London’s Heron Tower, with its Schindler 7000
elevators sets a new standard in environmental
design.
The Hearst Tower, with Schindler 7000
elevators, is New York’s first Gold LEED®
certified building.
The Torre Titanium, equipped with Schindler
7000 elevators, is the first building in Chile to
be certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Apart from the aesthetic impact on London’s skyline,
the structure will have a significant influence on its
immediate surroundings, not least with the creation
of a green public space around its base.
The 46-story tower in Midtown New York is unmistakable thanks to its energy-saving, diamond-shaped
bands of glass and steel. Designed to be 26 percent
more energy-efficient than a standard office building,
90 percent of the steel is recycled.
The building sets an entirely new benchmark in
terms of environmentally sound construction and
energy utilization.
The building’s environmental credentials are every bit
as impressive as its architectural ones. The glass
façades and the open-plan atria, each three-stories
high, allow daylight deep into the interior of the
structure, keeping artificial lighting to a minimum.
The double-deck Schindler 7000 elevators and the
staircases on the perimeter wall are also lit by
daylight, and in mid-season ventilated naturally.
The Schindler 7000 elevators play an important part
too: all are equipped with the facility to regenerate
excess energy back into the system. Moreover,
Schindler’s state-of-the-art Traffic Management
System saves energy by directing users to elevator
taking the most direct route to their floor.
The Hearst Tower boasts numerous energy-saving
features, including:
-glass coating to reduce solar radiation and consequently the need for air conditioning;
-a limestone atrium floor with embedded
polyethylene for circulating water for cooling in the summer and heating in the winter;
-high-efficiency heating and air-conditioning equipment that uses outside air for cooling and ventilation for nine months of the year;
-the «Icefall»: a two-story waterfall that chills the 10-story atrium, drawing off warm-season heat using rainwater from the roof.
The 15 Schindler 7000 high-rise elevators installed
in the building operate with a maximum of energy
efficiency. The entire passenger traffic is controlled
by the revolutionary Traffic Management System,
therefore the number of necessary journeys is
reduced. This permits significant savings in overall
energy consumption by the elevator systems.
The Torre Titanium’s energy-saving features are
equally impressive. Not only does the tower permit
energy to be recovered, it is constructed from
environmentally friendly building materials and
makes use of recycled material wherever possible.
These innovations, along with an array of additional
features, led to the Torre Titanium’s pre-certification
as a «Green-Building».
Schindler is supplying 20 high-rise elevators for this
prestigious building. Their entire concept has also
been drawn up to meet exacting environmental
requirements – not only in terms of design but
also with regard to efficient use of energy during
operation and subsequent removal and refurbishment. Schindler 7000 elevator systems have been
thought through down to the last detail, and make a
beneficial contribution to the positive energy balance
of the building.
